Introduction to Search Modes
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SEARCH MODE
The EQUINOX 700 and 900 have preset Search Modes that have unique target separation and depth abilities� Choosing
the right Search Mode is important to get the best performance for the environment you are detecting in�
Each mode represents a common detecting use: Park, Field, Beach, and Gold*� Each Search Mode has two Profiles,
uniquely pre-configured to optimise the detector for the best performance in the conditions typical to that location� Each
of the Profiles can be modified and saved�

Press the Search Mode button to select the next Search Mode�
Choose the Search Mode that best matches your detecting location — Park, Field, Beach, or Gold*�
To further optimise the preset detector settings, choose the best Search Profile for your detecting conditions:

is optimised for more difficult conditions� Target sensitivity is enhanced, but extra noise may also
result�
